How it all started
OLEADA was born out of a need for fashionable yet functional bags women everywhere can depend on. The brand was specially designed for the modern woman by the dynamic duo, Tracy and Tiffany. The two lived in Oxford, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Paris, and New York and worked in Investment Banking, Private Equity, and Consulting, so they understood the apparent need for tried and true accessories women can take anywhere and everywhere.

Tracy and Tiffany instantly formed a connection over a shared vision of bringing peace of mind to modern women by minimizing everyday hassle- all thanks to beautiful, functional, and luxurious handbags. Their combined mission to find a hole in the marketplace and create a fashion-forward yet functional brand that women can take from the office to happy hour (and everywhere in between) led to the creation of OLEADA, and, thus, the must-have handbag brand was born.
OLEADA is not your typical handbag brand. Instead of the usual approach, the team applies rigorous testing and prototyping methods to bring the perfect workbag to life- ensuring it can stand the test of time. As a result, OLEADA is a trusted brand you can count on that was thoughtfully shaped by the eyes and hearts of professional women for professional women.

Sustainability practices
OLEADA believes in slow fashion, in which it adopts sustainable practices throughout brand process. As a result, OLEADA works to reduce its carbon footprint by replacing high environmental
impact chemical products with ecological products.
As well, the brand replaces plastic filler with more decomposable plant fiber filling to make more ethically constructed bags. It also offers consumers a recycling program that rewards customers who
choose to send used OLEADA handbags back for proper recycling.
